Anita Frecknell’s fundraiser will take place in the main bar at Roffey Sports and Social Club, Spooners Road, Horsham on Friday March 30 at 7:30pm.

It will involve Anita shaving all her hair off to donate it to the Little Princess Trust, to make a wig for a child who has lost hair as a result of cancer treatment or other illnesses.

All sponsorship donations and donations on the night will be given to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Anita said: “Dagmar, the manager of Roffey Sports and Social Club, has been a great support in helping organising this event and anybody who wishes to attend this event for a great cause, will be warmly welcomed to his club.”

Anita, who works for Home Instead Senior Care in Horsham who assist the elderly maintain their independence in their own homes, has supported numerous charities in the past but felt this would be more challenging and really close to her heart.

She is also hoping to organise a raffle on the night to raise additional money for Macmillan. She said: “Any local companies who can donate any gifts as prizes would be fantastic.”
